Out of the 48 IPOs in 2019, 29 of them have moved up after listed and 15/29 move up more than 40%! Four stocks moved up by more than 100%. All these have contributed in various proportions to the 42.6% gain in 2019.
Current Gains vs Listing Gains
The current gains (vertical axis) are plotted against their listing gains. Stocks that moved up dramatically on listing have not gained as much since then which is to be expected (this is not mean reversion). Six stocks that listed at a discount to the offer price, fell further!
BSE IPO Index vs BSE Sensex
In order to understand the associated risk let us compare the BSE IPO Index with the Sensex over different durations.
1 year
Most of the gains for BSE IPO Index has come in the last quarter.
3 years
5 years
10 years
Clearly the BSE IPO is far more volatile than the Sensex with a bad phase erasing gains obtained over several years.
Summary
The year 2019 has been a fantastic year for IPOs with many registering stellar gains on listing. Some also moved up later resulting in a last quarter surge of the BSE IPO index. While there are no index funds or ETFs to track IPOs, the movement of the BSE index carries a simple, intutive lesson: IPOs tend to fare better during bull markets although chasing after IPO gains can be risky bussiness on any given day.

Both the boy and girl versions of "Chinchu Gets a Superpower".
Most investor problems stem from a lack of poor decision-making. We made bad decisions and money mistakes when we started earning, and we spent years undoing them. Why should our children go through the same pain? What is this book about? As parents, what if we had to groom one ability in our children that matters not only for money management and investing but for every aspect of life? My answer: Sound decision-making. So, in this book, we meet Chinchu, who is about to turn 10. The story follows what he wants for his birthday and how his parents plan it, while also teaching him key ideas about decision-making and money management. What readers say! 
Feedback from a young reader after reading Chinchu Gets a Superpower!
Must-read book even for adults! This is something that every parent should teach their kids right from a young age. The importance of money management and decision-making based on their wants and needs. Very nicely written in simple terms. - Arun.
